Its slender stems and intricate blooms add movement and softness to bouquets, while the enchanting seed pods that follow make a beautiful addition to both fresh and dried arrangements. ‘Mulberry Rose’ is a dreamy choice for the cutting garden, bringing an old-fashioned charm and elegance to spring and summer florals.

Harvesting
Harvest flowers when the buds are fully coloured and just starting to open, or wait until the center forms a plump pod depending on whether you want fresh blooms or dried pods.
For drying: harvest seed pods for drying when they are fully formed, plump, and firm to the touch, but still show green and purple stripes before the pods open.
